The Boy’s “Before” Bedroom

This is a project we’ve been discussing for about a year now… It’s almost ludicrous, I know. But it is my belief that sometimes these things have to percolate in the mind for a time before they can be poured out into the real world… Anyway, the work has finally, finally begun. I know, I have an actual goal. Amazing stuff.

Before sharing any progress, I thought I’d show some “before” pictures and our BIG list of plans. There’s a lot to be done in this little room but our hope is to keep the changes simple, work with many of the existing elements, donate a lot of stuff, keep the waste to a minimum, and be done swiftly!

Here’s what the room looked like before we started, and our wish list for its improvement:

Can’t wait to see the backside of that red and orange colour scheme. Yikes-ey… I’ll be back with an update soon. Wish us luck!

Good luck! We're building a new room in the roof for my little one and the baby on the way and it's so exciting as it's the first time I've ever really planned a room from scratch rather than things just evolving organically. I'm having fun using the internet for inspiration.

I agree about percolating – both Tim and I tend to percolate stuff for a very long time. What is funny about percolating is that if you percolate long enough the decision and action is much more decisive and quick than it normally is.

I can see where the room needs updating for Boy but it is cute as it is too.

I believe the result will be great!:) Your son should like the new look of his room, that's the point! My son made "the big change" together with his father, while I was absent for 10 days and they surprised me a lot. They really did! New colours of the walls, the furniture – rearranged, window shades instead of the curtains, etc. This is such a thrilling moment of a family's life – good luck and a wonderful mood, while changing things!!;-)

Well that should keep you occupied for a while! lolGreat idea to utilise trhe cupboard in that way, is it deep enough to have shelving on its interior walls too?What a lovely way to start his new year off with an updated space for him too.
